Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 76-78 Delmar Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Peter A & Margarita D Gerga, is a two-story structure built in 1904 categorized as Flats & Duplex. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with notable work including termite repairs in 2015 costing $11,420 and comprehensive plumbing upgrades in 2008 involving sewerline and housetrap replacement. The building has had multiple roofing projects, with work completed in 2005 ($9,500) and previous work recorded in 1990. A kitchen remodel was attempted in 2005, though the permit expired without confirmation of completion.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly between 2021-2023, with three documented cases of driveway blocking resulting in citations. Other maintenance matters in the vicinity have included tree maintenance (2022), street lighting repairs (2019), and general street cleaning (2022). The building's infrastructure appears to have been regularly maintained, with historical records showing attention to termite issues in both 1989 and 2015, while recent permits from 2018 and 2008 indicate proper handling of street space and sidewalk requirements. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to structural and systems upkeep, though some recent events related to parking enforcement could impact resident convenience.

Risk rating

How 76-78 Delmar St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 139 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.1%
Moderate concern 16.3%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
